You will be happy with the performance increases.
Thanks Kris for the tip.

Jason (CajunDude) has a super deal going on with them now, http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...hlight=vararam He also has the instructions to install it as well.... The Vararam comes complete. You will not need anything else. I needed a newer filter cause mine had the older style filter.

What is it that you guys don't understand? You want to buy something for the Vette - buy something for Mrs. Right (first name ALWAYS) first.

It's called "greasing". It's an age old practice passed down from generation to generation.

Mrs. Right got a nice tennis bracelet for our 30th Anniversary (6 carats). I'm good for a while - in fact I just ordered some chrome caps from NakidParts and she didn't even flinch!

Hey Randy My Mrs. Right is getting a overhaul on her Audio system. I have all new Infinity speakers (inculding a 12 inch sub), New Infinity amp waiting on sub and amp box. So my Mrs. Right can BLAST her tunes as she usually does in her VETTE.... She did give me the go ahead for the headers and other thing assiocated with them.... I'm working on next years mods already.... Oh and plus she has given me the go ahead on a body kit just waiting on the seller of it.

Mine has a Vette, Car parts she looks for now..... No diamonds..... Give her four Koni shocks and she is thrilled.....

Nice... We will need pic's of the new owner and the car when she gets it..

Lori wants to keep hers for four more years then another C5 for her.

I am quite satisified with mine for the next 8-10 years. I want to enjoy it.... It is my dream car....
